OK. Yes, there are other sources of Vit D3, but it is very difficult to consume the volumes of food necessary to move your blood concentrations to + 50 nmol/ml vs spending 20 minutes with the sun on your legs and arms. Watch the video, it explains a LOT of health issues related to Vit D3, where you live, your race, and how much sun time you get... While it is aimed at MDs, the science is well explained and presented in a humorous and easily digestible format.

Besides, no pharmaceutical company is going to make money off sunshine, so how are researchers going to get their studies paid for???

And with that scary melanoma stuff, we want everyone inside, all day, every day and avoiding vitamin D at all costs... I wonder if Vitamin D will go up in price 800% soon so they can make as much as possible as quickly as possible...
